Particular businesses and venues in Pingelly will be introducing contact registers from this Saturday. This is a precautionary measure set by the WA Government following the state's transition to a controlled interstate border with the rest of Australia.
A contact register requires a customer or visitor to 'check-in' their time of arrival, name, contact number and email upon arrival. Maintaining this information will mean, in the event there are cases of COVID-19 in the community, the WA Government's team of contact tracers can act quickly to identify people who might have been exposed. These records will only be kept for the purpose of contact tracing, should it be required, and only kept for a 28 day period.
